Today's Weather Trivia:

May 17,2004: Wildfire managers in BC feared a repeat of the previous year's fire season-the most expensive forest inferno on record. Also affecting the forestry sector, the excessive heat and prolonged dryness forced ranchers to truck water because creeks and reservoirs had gone dry. A massive kill-off of sockeye salmon was blamed in part on the 60-year-high temperatures of the Fraser River (22°C in 2004). – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
